Do you mean stick pins for the lapel with miniatures of medals and ribbons etc?

no , the brass, tin etc strips that went behind the buttons , badges etc to stop getting polish on the uniforms....

I wasnt aware that the german forces had buttons that needed polishing like our brass buttons and buckles, i thought they used either aluminium or coated with a silver or gold wash or lacquer
